vgn-tx3hrp on SSD HDD Upgrade

I bought the SSD upgrade for laptop VGN-TX3HRP.
Turned on, BIOS found him, but then he gets stuck (in the POST does not react) for 10 minutes... In general, an hour or so later was able to get to the windows installer - and windows says ' don't drive!

resembled the HARD drive - when zero bad sector after years of work.

-How can I be? (firmware can do)
-How this model is called the U.S. market?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

    I contacted WD without a bit of luck.

    Proberly need to talk to the seller of this problem, but he said that it is compatible with all PCs, not excluded,

    Yes. I read that and frowned. I'll be back without a doubt it.  People have experienced a similar problem with the desktop and hybrid hard drives.

  • G6-2301ax: g6-2301ax hdd upgrade to ssd.

    last 2months.my labtop(g6-2301ax) is so slow (always the start-up time more than 2 minutes and runnig so slow program) that I intend to level hdd to ssd (samsung 850 evo) so I 3questions.
    1. This ssd comparible with my labtop?
    2.slow - operation problems relationship with hard disk or other hardware (processor, memory, etc...)?

    The SSD is compatible. Difficult to say why the laptop is so slow. The A8 processor should be sufficient. 4 to 8 GB RAM upgrade might be a good idea, too. Before you spend money on hardware upgrade, however, I run a complete diagnosis of the hardware test in the diagnosis of UEFI by typing esc or F2 as you power and proceed to "diagnoses" and run all the tests.

  • iMac 14.2 HDD upgrade SSD external / internal

    I have an iMac of end of 2013 with a 1 TB HARD drive. I'm looking to upgrade to a Samsung SSD, because I believe that the HARD drive is really slow. I have searched online for the best solution for this.

    Does anyone have the answers to the following questions:

    How it would effect the speeds, if my boot drive has been installed on an external SSD and internal HDD is used to store files?

    An external SSD Thunderbolt would be faster than USB 3.0? Where's the best price to buy these items?

    How Apple charge for this upgrade? What's hard to do it yourself with the right kit from OWC, bearing in mind I have some experience by removing the PC? http://www.megamac.com/Collections/Components/Products/OWC-Digital-Thermal-Senso r-with-installation-tools-for-imac-27-20...

    I really feel the drive HARD don't disappoint the computer and with the benefit of hindsight, I would have been for a different option.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    I use an external Thunderbolt sled made by Seagate for a single SSD. Around $140, I think. Search on Amazon. I/O speeds are almost that of a flash drive SSD internal.

    How to use an SSD with your HARD drive


    If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do.

    After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume.

    Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder.

    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content.

    Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  • Portege R700 - 15U HDD upgrade to SSD using recovery media

    Hello

    The installed HARD disk was 320, he developed surface errors.

    I decided that I would upgrade to an SSD. I got a 64 GB m4.

    I swapped the drives and booted from the recovery DVD. He gave an installation option. Selected, then it opens a command prompt where it starts to partition the drive, everything ok, until it copies the files. It errors with "CRC error or HARD drive.

    It is, with the resumption of Toshiba, there is more than 64 GB? How I choose partition sizes?

    Thank you
    Danny

    Hey Buddy,

    And now your problem is solved or how to understand your second assignment?

    Is that recovery disk can also restore the factory settings on another SSD or HARD disk. There is no problem and 64 GB should be enough.

    These CRC errors could be linked to the SSD itself have you looked for an update of the firmware on the page of manufacturing SSD?
    Have you updated the BIOS?

  • Inspiron 530 main HDD Upgrade to SSD

    I have an Inspiron 530 I put Windows 7. I thought that, rather than trying to upgrade the operating system, I would like to add a new drive to do a clean install of 7 on and make my player existing secondary drive for data. Following the same process of thought, I thought I'd go with a Solid State Drive for the primary drive would give an additional performance gain.

    Anyone know of any "Pitfalls" that wanted me to use an SSD as my main drive on my 530?

    Hi Dhorlo, all hard disks are now plug ' don't play, which includes the new discs SSD, so you won't have any problems using this drive on a 530.

  • HDD Upgrade SSD - Portege R30 is not booting

    Hello

    Just bought a R30 and a very cheap OCZ SSD 240 GB, I'm trying to replace the HARD drive in the Toshiba with the SSD. I created the Toshiba Recovery discs and inserted the disc and the process of recovery from the DVD.

    When I try to start the laptop, I get "insert system disk and press a key to continue the error."

    I disabled the secure boot, I; ve switched in MSC mode, I checked the SSD, I can't get the R30 to recognize the new SSD.

    Any help or suggestion?

    Just bought a R30 and a very cheap 240 GB SSD OCZ
    I can't get the R30 to recognize the new SSD

    The SSD is recognized by the BIOS?
    The SSD drive should be visible on the first page of BIOS... if its is not visible, the BIOS does not see the SSD...
    Why? Mainly because of compatibility issues...

    In this case you don't have a lot of options; the SSD drive needs to be replaced by another which would be compatible... Unfortunately, there is no details what SSD drive would be compatible at 100% and that's why you need to check on your own hand...

    If you have found a good job, please share the details here in the community... might be interesting for other members...

  • HP 350 G2: 350 g2 hdd upgrade (for the SSD)

    Hello

    Does anyone has seen a good quality video or photographs explaining the withdrawal of hard drive to a G2 of 350 HP.

    Seen manul user and/or maintenance but the details about the kidnapping are unclear.

    Ken Maitland

    Hi, Ken:

    I have the 350 G1 and when I first looked at it, I didn't have no idea how out the hard drive.

    I had never seen a montage like that in my life before.

    I took a glance at your manual, and it is exactly the same as the G1.

    I did not remove the connector from the hard drive of the PC.

    What I did was gently upward on the hard drive to the connector on the hard drive.

    Then he lifted right out.

    I then carefully unplug the connector on the hard drive, removed the rubber from the HARD drive support, put it on the SSD and installed my new Intel SSD. I put the connector back on until I pushed the rubber mount in the drive Bay.  There are 4 feathers on the rubber mount coming in the where the screw-drive would go.

    I searched in vain for you tube videos, etc, so I went just for her.

  • End of 2008 Mac SSD & RAM Upgrade

    Hi all

    I have a Macbook 13-inch, aluminum, late 2008. This is the 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2x2gb DDR3 1067 MHz Kington.

    I'm currently under OSX 10.9.5. My Version of boot ROM: MB51.007D.B03.

    I would like to change the current drive with a 512 GB SSD Crucial. Someone of you have encountered problems with SSD Crucial on this particular Mac?

    When I initially swapped to the Kington 2 GB RAM, I read that 4 GB is the max for this model at this time. Recently, I did some more research and found 8 GB might be supported if you a particular firmware. http://blog.MacSales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-MacBooks-use-8gb

    Im looking at buying Crucial 8 GB Kit (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 - 1066 SODIMM memory for Mac. http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/ct2k4g3s1067m

    I've read some people have had problems with 2 x 4 GB and used a config 1x2GB and 1x4Go. However, the post is about 3-4 years.

    Once I update to SSDS and the Rams I intend to update the current firmware. Should I face any problem as soon as I update to El legend with the Rams and the SSD upgrade?

    I appreciate all the comments.

    Mike

    There is no problem to occur as far as I understand your plan except that it is much more fast MacBook Pro you expect!

    You should get 2.5 external HDD Enclosure also inches so that you can make drive bootable with Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper clone!

  • Portege R100 and HDD upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Portege R100 and I want to upgrade the 40 GB HARD disk. What is the highest size that I could upgrade using Toshiba or not Toshiba HDD?
    There are 1.8 "SSD? What would be the best way to update?

    Thank you
    Romeo

    I have an old Portege 2000 and it's almost the same specifications your one, but my has been delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive. I've updated it with 60 GB and it works perfectly.
    I can understand your wishes on the HARD drive upgrade, but I recommend you to be a little more realistic and spend it is logical and understandable for this older model laptop.

    So I can confirm that 60 GB HARD drive will be working well. Maybe you can use the HARD disk with more capacity, but Toshiba is now your Portege with 40 GB max. What you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask them if they have more experiences with the hardware upgrade on this laptop.

    To be honest, this laptop is not designed for multimedia stuff and in fact 60 GB HARD drive is quite enough for the installation of applications and for the registration of all the important things like maybe a few videos, photos and office documents.

    What you want to do with this laptop?

  • T420 sizes of disk Physics Max (SSD/HDD)

    My venus T420 with a 320 GB Seagate HDD (6mm high) who was quickly put on a 160 GB Intel X-25 (height 7.5 mm). Recently, I needed more space and tried an another upgrade to a 256 GB OCZ Vertex 4 (9mm height). The OCZ is uncomfortably tight and I'm afraid to damage the laptop, so I'm holding off trying to find an SSD of 7mm. What SSD others use to upgrade their T420 to 256 GB and more?

    An alternative is to buy and connect a drive 256 GB mSATA and put back the old 320 HARD drive in the drive tray. But this raises the question of the limits of size of HARD drive. Most (all?) 1 TB drives are double tray and too big for the T420. So my second question is what is the largest capacity HARD drive that would fit in the T420 drive tray?

    The mSATA option seems more elegant and offers a lot of total storage space. What I forget?

    Gentlemen, first of all thanks for all these information on physical disk sizes and on the other hand, I thank you for the direction of me in the right direction. When I got my calipers out, I assumed the problem was of height of the disc. But your contribution suggested that my 9.06 mm high disk should work perfectly.

    The culprit turned out to be the widthof the car. I used screws with heights of head high to mount the drive in the caddy. After the damper rubber on the screws, the set was too broad.

    More small screw and life is perfect. Now cloning!
